grossness challenge

I'm not really sure why we do these things to ourselves. But there seems to be an atmosphere of taking dares going round the PRC office at the moment.

Jan brought us back some sweeties from her holiday in Spain. These sweets are even more hideous than the magnet that KT brought back from Menorca, featuring a sun that was conspicuously absent for her entire holiday. But I digress. Toxic sweets.

Does this look appetising to you?



No no, hang on -- you're really selling it to me with this:



So basically, these are sweets which the producer admits are not the kind of thing you want to keep in your mouth for any length of time.

This was a gauntlet down in the PRC office.

Jan Lewis spit hers out before she got to the centre. OOooh. Wussy.

I had one. I busted through that outer core and it was easy after that. But as an American, I have had extensive training in the consumption of revolting foodstuffs. See Wikipedia's entry on warheads.

Gary Seabrook ate one. Well done Gary.

Ondine Howard ate one. Well done Ondine.

Neil Carter ate four at the same time. He da man.

However, I think the crown must go to Mister Mike Burgneay, who ate a toxic sweet and washed it down with a Mars flavoured cappuccino from the flavia machine.

Dude, that's sick! Mike is a hero!
